Description
This course is aimed at people who are currently closely involved in the application of vibration analysis techniques in support of a predictive maintenance program. Leveraging numerous practical examples, advanced vibration techniques will be presented in order to expose and detect complex mechanical and electrical problems in rotating machines. A variety of rotating machine applications are presented to include a range from simple pump or fan arrangements to more complex machines such as extruders, compressors, filling systems, and presses. Special attention is also given to the monitoring of slow rotating shafts with examples provided from paper, food and beverage, and chemical industry applications. The course is supported by an English manual.
Recommended audience
This course is recommended for analysts who wish to study vibration analysis techniques and applications, as well as maintenance leaders and reliability engineers. Some experience in vibration analysis is recommended.
